As 2019 draws to a close, I thought I would take a few minutes to convey my thanks to many of you who have participated in this ministry over the years--along with those who faithfully provide support.
Although statistics don’t tell the full story of the impact of a ministry, they can give some idea of our present level of outreach.
This newsletter reaches about 290 subscribers, helping them keep
up-to-date as new audio and video presentations become available on our site.
As of the end of this year, we provide access to
studies
on over 90 different topics or books of the Bible, comprising over 1,800
audio and 650 video presentations, many of which are on a par with seminary-level instruction.
Our ten
most popular presentations
to date are:
Book of Revelation by Tony Garland (524,000 accesses)
Book of 1st Corinthians by Steve Lewis (371,000 accesses)
John by Andy Woods (357,000 accesses)
Acts by Tony Garland (238,000 accesses)
Soteriology by Andy Woods (201,000 accesses)
Daniel by Andy Woods (170,000 accesses)
The Coming Kingdom by Andy Woods (166,000 accesses)
Galatians by Steve Lewis (164,000 accesses)
Romans by Andy Woods (148,000 accesses)
Israel Through the Eyes of Scripture by Tony Garland (145,000 accesses)
Those with questions concerning Bible topics can search our
Q and A
section to find answers to nearly 350 questions--or ask a new question
(although we remain challenged to respond in a timely manner due to
the backlog.)
This year we began a fledgling Youtube Channel where we post videos of answers to select questions--in the hope this may reach more of the unchurched.
Special thanks goes out to our
teachers.
Without them, we wouldn’t be able to provide world-wide access to reliable, in-depth

Paul refuses to take John Mark on the second missionary journey after his previous failure. Barnabas believes Mark still has potential for Christian service. History shows Barnabas was right.

Big Bang cosmology is taught in our public schools, while the Creation account of the Bible is prohibited. This uneven treatment of alternative creation accounts is justified by claiming that the Big Bang is based on observational facts whereas Creationism is a religious view based upon miracles. In reality, both cosmologies require miracles and the secular Big Bang teaching is just as much a faith-based belief as Creationism.

A primary purpose of the Tribulation Period involves Israel, not the Church.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/296.htmFri, 06 Oct 2017 07:00:00 GMTOffline Access of Teaching Resourceshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/news/20171007.htm#20171006191641
As some of you know, for years we have offered free CDs and DVDs of the content from our website for those who would like to access teaching when disconnected from the Internet. We have mailed out over 1,700 CDs or DVDs to 70 different countries around the world.
However, for reasons described below, we are discontinuing our CD and DVD offerings in favor of providing off-line content via individual course downloads over the Internet.
Our CD and DVD snapshots of course material from the website were woefully out of date (by 5 years or more).
We now serve up over 350 videos constituting about 120GB of data. This would require more than 25 DVD’s to capture and send out via postal mail--at prohibitive cost.
Ignoring the video content, we have about 14GB of related course material (notes, slide presentations, and audio recordings). Sending this material without the videos would still mean sending 3 DVDs to each request.
CD and DVD format is on the way to becoming obsolete. Many computers (especially laptops) and portable devices (phones, tablets) cannot play CDs or DVDs.
Postal costs continue to escalate.
Rather than using postal mail, we've enhanced the website to make it easier to
download individual courses in the form of ZIP files.
Although some of the ZIP files can still be fairly large, most are much smaller than the ISO images for the individual CDs and DVDs we previously offered.
Due to their inherently large size, videos are not included within ZIP files for individual courses.
A ZIP file for a course, once downloaded and unzipped
on your local device, will include everything except the videos: which will still require an Internet
connection to view. (For offline access of videos, you will need to download them separately--from the same
download page.)
We appreciate your patience as we work through this transition. -- Tony

It seems to be almost an axiom within contemporary, evangelical Bible interpretation that the New Testament must be allowed to reinterpret the Old Testament. That is, the New Testament is believed to have revelatory priority over the Old Testament, so that it is considered the greatest and final revelation. And because the NT is the final revelation of Jesus Christ, the only proper way to understand the OT is with the Christ of the NT directing us. This article examines the implications of such an approach.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#219Sun, 07 May 2017 07:00:00 GMTQ282 : Genesis and an Old Earth?http://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/282.htm

Recently I have been reminded of the Reformed CT community's aversion to the label of supercessionism, or worse, replacement theology. In the last decade or so particularly I have read repeated disavowals of this term from covenant theologians. Not wanting to misrepresent or smear brethren with whom I disagree, I have to say that I struggle a bit with these protests. "We are not replacement theologians" we are told, "but rather we believe in transformation or expansion." By some of the objectors we are told that the church does not replace Israel because it actually IS Israel; well, "true Israel" - the two designations are really one. This move is legitimate, they say, because the "true Israel" or "new Israel" is in direct continuity with Israel in the Old Testament. In this article, I want to investigate the question of whether it is right; if I am right, to brand this outlook as replacement theology and supercessionism.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#218Sat, 15 Apr 2017 07:00:00 GMTRecommended Articleshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/news/20170415.htm#THIS-ENTRY

In the new year, we pause to reflect on our ministry providing free bible study materials to people all across the world through the wonder that is the Internet. We live in an unprecedented period in history. Never before has there been such global access to information. This is an enormous blessing as Christian teaching and discipleship materials are made available to cultures and regions which have heretofore had only limited access to the gospel. At the same time, the barrier to publishing has never been lower--which has proved to be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because secular gate-keepers who deem Christianity and knowledge of our Creator unworthy of consideration have an increasingly difficult time suppressing the truth from seekers. A curse because anyone with the inclination to launch their own BLOG can now pontificate and speculate concerning biblical teachings, apart from any calling or preparation as a teacher to the body of Christ. Gone are the days of thoughtful and knowledgeable editors and gate-keepers who ensured that published materials were worthy of consideration--such that rank heresy wasn’t likely to see the light of day. Add to this the social and instantaneous nature of this enormous "digital river" clamoring for our attention, and the challenge for the Christian of today is how to be nourished in our walk with God while avoiding the intake of toxic materials? This reality causes us to consider carefully our duty to provide sound resources free of sensationalism and speculation. We strive to ensure that everything that makes its way onto our website is founded upon a careful and legitimate interpretation of God’s inerrant Word. We were aided and blessed in that process by teachers who continue to make their materials available for wide distribution: contributing over 150 audio and almost 200 video publications this past year alone. It is difficult to obtain reliable statistics concerning the reach of SpiritAndTruth.org, but conservative statistics indicate, since its inception in 2004, SpiritAndTruth.org has provided over 8,000 CDs and DVDs (by postal mail and direct download) to at least 69 different countries. It is our prayer, through the resources we offer, that more and more people will come to find redemption in Jesus--and that, having found reconciliation with God, they will be become better equipped to make Him known. May all of us grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus this coming year!

We live in one of the most interesting time periods of history. The Lord seems to be setting the stage for His return as never before. One of these major stage-setting trends that we are currently seeing is the rise of a coalition of nations that harbors a hostile intent toward Israel. No matter which presidential administration comes into office in this nation and no matter how the calendar turns, this is an issue that does not seem to go away. The prophet Ezekiel foresaw these things 2,600 years ago in a vision along the Chebar River in Babylon. Now, respected Bible Prophecy teacher, Dr. Andy Woods, explains the vision of Ezekiel. WHO will be involved in the coming Islamic invasion of Israel? WHEN will it take place? WHY will all this happen? WHAT will the war look like? HOW will this all come together to fulfill Ezekiel's prophecy? Dr. Woods concludes with seven powerful points of application.Andy Woodshttps://www.amazon.com/Middle-East-Meltdown-Islamic-Invasion-ebook/dp/B01JGR2IA2/Sat, 13 Aug 2016 07:00:00 GMTRecommended Articleshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/news/20160813.htm#THIS-ENTRY

You cannot have an actual salvation occur independent of the hearing or perhaps reading of the Word of God. A motivational talk is not something that God uses to alert people to the fact that they need to trust in Christ. He uses one and only one source to make people aware of their need to trust in Christ and that is His Word.

The past three years have been sobering ones for Bible students who favor a literal interpretation, including a straight-forward reading of the Bible’s numerous prophetic passages. In 2013, we suffered the loss of Dr. Mal Couch. (Every teacher on our website was taught by this tireless proponent of a dispensational understanding of Scripture.) Then, in 2014, we were saddened by the loss of Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost, another giant in the field of dispensationalism. He was widely known for his masterful thesis, which most of us know by the title Things to Come --IMHO, one of the two most comprehensive works on prophecy ever written. (The other being Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s Footsteps of the Messiah , which followed upon his magnum opus , Israelology .) Now, we must contend for the faith without the further assistance of Dr. Charles Ryrie, who passed away a few days ago. Dr. Ryrie will probably be best remembered for his work producing The Ryrie Study Bible , a modern-day equivalent of the Scofield Study Bible -- so influential has it been in our generation. (Other books by Dr. Ryrie that I've benefited from include: Dispensationalism , Basic Theology , The Holy Spirit , Come Quickly, Lord Jesus , and The Basis of the Premillennial Faith .) The inexorable “graduation” of these theological giants and defenders of a plain-reading of the biblical text underscores the importance of passing the baton of sensible Bible interpretation to each generation. It is becoming our-turn to attempt to stand in these men’s large shoes and to help the sheep “hear the words of . . . prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Revelation 1:3). This, Lord willing, we will attempt to do!Tony Garlandhttp://www.dts.edu/read/dr-charles-c-ryrie-1925-2016-tribute/Tue, 16 Feb 2016 08:00:00 GMTSon of Encouragement (Acts 11:19-26)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/Acts_by_Tony_Garland/35_Acts_11_19-26/index.htm

If you are going to try to build the Kingdom of God on the earth, there are not enough Christians in the world to accomplish this goal. Thus, you have to start cooperating with people of different faiths, like Catholics and Muslims. Such spiritual ecumenism represents the natural outworking of the church erroneously viewing itself as the kingdom of God.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#208Sun, 11 Oct 2015 07:00:00 GMTThe Creation Project Consummatedhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/biblical_covenantalism/43_the_creation_project_consummated/index.htm

Since the biblical text itself fails to positively teach or convey the notion of a present spiritual establishment of the messianic kingdom of God, it is common for "kingdom now" theologians to appeal to an argument from silence. According to this line of thought, since the New Testament fails to mention or emphasize a future earthly kingdom, then the promise of a future terrestrial rule of Christ has somehow been cancelled.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#197Sun, 26 Apr 2015 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming Kingdom - Part 36http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#198
The "kingdom now" theologian is wrong in assuming that the New Testament is completely silent on the subject of the restoration of Israel's terrestrial kingdom promises. While not emphasizing this truth to the same degree as is found in the pages of the Old Testament, the New Testament still affirms this truth in several places.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#198Sun, 26 Apr 2015 07:00:00 GMTChrist as the Center of Scripture - Part 3http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/topics_by_paul_henebury_01/16_Christ_as_the_Center_of_Scripture/index.htm

I can recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a sound, but charitable, refutation of the New Perspective on Paul. Westerholm does an admirable job of cutting to the chase to show why the New Perspective on Paul in fact misrepresents what Paul had to say concerning justification and the need for all men, both Jewish and Gentile, to approach God by faith. Anyone who has viewed the growing popularity of the New Perspective in academia with a large dose of skepticism will come away from this book with a refreshed belief that the biblical texts Paul wrote concerning justification are indeed as simple as they seem on face value. As with many recent academic novelties which purport to tell us what a biblical author "really meant" (inferring that the brightest minds in the church down to our time somehow "misunderstood the point"), the New Perspective is to be rejected because it undermines a central tenet of biblical teaching concerning the way of salvation--which is not about joining the covenant people of God, but about being born again: party to a transaction where, whether Jew or Gentile, we gain God's righteousness instead of bearing our own sins. If you have an uneasiness with the popularity of the New Perspective, but have struggled to put your finger on exactly why, this book will help you do just that.Tony Garlandhttp://www.amazon.com/Justification-Reconsidered-Rethinking-Pauline-Theme/dp/0802869610/Sun, 08 Mar 2015 08:00:00 GMTJesus on the Kingdom - Part 3http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/biblical_covenantalism/31_jesus_on_the_kingdom_-_part_3/index.htm

This book is a helpful general introduction to various issues surrounding the temple of Ezekiel's Prophetic vision (Eze. 40ff). The authors take the vision as describing a future, literal temple which will exist during the millennium (as do I). One of the authors has spent many years studying the temple, and especially its architecture. There are helpful diagrams and photos of the models he has constructed. This same author also has numerous ties with various rabbis and groups within Israel who have an interest in the temple and temple mount so there is some good information pertaining to how these non-Christian Jews view Ezekiel's temple. One of the interesting aspects of the book is the discussion of the tension that both Christianity and Judaism have with understanding how Ezekiel's vision fits into the overall teaching of the Bible regarding temples and sacrifices. For Christians, the challenge is found in resolving Ezekiel's temple, and especially its sacrifices, with the teaching of Hebrews concerning the completed sacrifice of Jesus. For Judaism, the challenge is found in the differences in both the temple and sacrifices from those set forth in the Mosaic Law. It makes you appreciate God's hand in the process of canonization in that Ezekiel remained part of the OT canon despite these tensions. This book is a welcome addition to the too few resources which detail with the details given by Ezekiel at face value. I found the comparisons between the "Calendrical Sacrifices in Ezekiel" and "Calendrical Offerings of the Levitical Law" which is given in chart form on pages 150-151 to be of particular interest.Tony Garlandhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0825443261Sat, 31 Jan 2015 08:00:00 GMTClarifying Kingdom Confusion (John 18:33-36)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/John_by_Andy_Woods/109_John_18_33-36/index.htm

Prophetic scholars have long observed that of the 59 New Testament references to David and of the multiple New Testament references to Christ's present session, no New Testament reference equates the Davidic Throne with Christ's present session. Thus, dispensationalists have long recognized a distinction between Christ’s present session and His future Davidic reign.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#185Sun, 07 Sep 2014 07:00:00 GMTThe Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture (John 16:12-13a)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/John_by_Andy_Woods/91_John_16_12-13a/index.htm

This powerful book (illustrated in full colour) exposes the fatal flaws of evolutionary thinking. Like no other work that we are aware of, it is authored by nine Ph.D. scientists to produce a coordinated, coherent, powerful argument. All of the authors received their doctorates from similar secular universities as their evolutionary counterparts. Each is a specialist in a field relevant to the subject written about: Natural selection, origin of life, geology, genetics, radiometric dating, the fossil record, cosmology, and ethics. Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels directly demolishes the very pillars of the belief system that underpins our now-secular culture-evolutionary naturalism. It’s coupled with the Biblical command to reach the lost with the Bible’s Good News. In a nutshell, it’s a comprehensive outreach tool like no other. The nine Ph.D. scientists are Donald Batten, Robert Carter, David Catchpoole, John Hartnett, Mark Harwood, Jim Mason, Jonathan Sarfati, Emil Silvestru and Tasman Walker. Foreword by Carl Wieland and edited by Robert Carter. This material will also be available as a DVD presentation in October.

Biblical Covenantalism tracks the covenants through Scripture for the sake of putting together a composite picture of God’s plan. The covenants are the backbone of Scripture. If we pay careful attention to these covenants as they arise, we will not be able to bypass the everlasting “covenant of peace” which God made with Phinehas and his descendants in Numbers 25.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#181Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:00:00 GMTQ244 : Is Progressive Sanctification Biblical?http://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/244.htm

Perhaps the primary reason advanced by kingdom now theologians in their attempt to equate God's present work in the church with the present, spiritual manifestation of the Messianic kingdom is that following His Ascension Christ supposedly took His seat on David's Throne in heaven. From this regal position He now orchestrates the spiritual Messianic kingdom through the church. However, it is far better to reject the notion that the Davidic Kingdom is present in any sense today and instead to maintain that the Davidic Kingdom will not be inaugurated until the millennial age.

Dwight Pentecost (1915-2014) - Dallas Theological Seminaryhttp://www.dts.edu/pentecost-tribute/
I am simultaneously saddened and overjoyed to report that long-time Dallas Theological Seminary professor J. Dwight Pentecost passed into the presence of the Lord on April 28 at 4:00 pm while at forum rehab in Dallas. His condition began to deteriorate Sunday night and early Monday morning. He had just turned 99 four days earlier. He was/is a beautiful Christian, scholar, and teacher. He made an indelible and eternal impact upon my life, theology, worldview, approach to the Bible, ministry philosophy, and career trajectory like no other pastor, scholar, or theologian. The ministries that I am directly involved in, the College of Biblical Studies and Sugar Land Bible Church, have doctrinal statements that are based to a large degree on his writings, as derived from the Bible. One of the great privileges of my life, graciously given to me by God, was to study under him. He simply cannot be replaced. Please see the tribute page to his life and legacy. [You are invited to watch Dr. Pentecost’s memorial service online on May 7th beginning at 3:00 p.m. CST. A recorded version of the memorial service will also be available on the tribute page beginning Thursday, May 8th. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to Dallas Theological Seminary in honor of Dr. Pentecost.] Andy Woodshttp://www.dts.edu/pentecost-tribute/Sun, 04 May 2014 07:00:00 GMTThe Secret of Fruit-Bearing - Part 1 (John 15:1-3)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/John_by_Andy_Woods/80_John_15_1-3/index.htm

(2) Why has the Church become so ignorant to the study of prophecy? (3) Replacement Theology is becoming so popular in the Church today, is God finished with Israel?

Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis, debated Bill Nye, "The Science Guy" on the topic: "Is creation a viable model of origins in today's modern scientific era?" Some Christians have been critical of Ham, generally because he did not mention their favorite criticism or Achilles heel concerning evolution. However, I think this misses the point--Ham stuck pretty closely to the announced topic, as he should of. Being a young earth creationist and having worked for decades as an electrical/software engineer, and awarded patents for my work, I was both amused and irritated by Nye's incessant claim that belief in creationism is incompatible with engineering and technical progress. The response to the debate from the Intelligent Design (ID) community has been mixed. Those ID proponents who swallow the secular view of an old earth are upset that the anti-evolutionary stance taken by Ham included a biblically-based belief in a young earth. Some of their reviews make for interesting reading and serve to remind evangelical Christians that many (most?) proponents of ID reject Biblical authority. Among numerous organizations capitalizing on the interest generated by the debate, Creation Ministry International put out this helpful review of the debate. Within the narrow definition of the debate topic, I felt Ken Ham did an excellent job in the limited time available. He also provided several clear presentations of the gospel message. It is my view we should support and pray for these important creation-related Christian ministries which uphold a straight forward interpretation of God's Word in the face of secular skepticism and widespread Christian compromise with the culture.

And if they cannot account for the their arguments from within their own outlook, they should give it up and find one that does account for it.

The author is the minister of Christ Church in Moscow and a Senior Fellow of theology at New St. Andrews College. His contention is that the modern system of dating is not only broken, but unbiblical. The book examines biblical teachings from both the Old and New Testaments concerning the role of families in preparing their children for marriage. A central theme throughout the book is the role played by fathers in preparing, protecting, and aiding their daughters as they come of age to be given in marriage to form a new household. Wilson shows how modern dating practices, which assume the independence of the daughter from oversight by the father, lead into trouble and leave the daughter unprotected, both physically and emotionally. He contrasts modern practice with the biblical model where a daughter always remains under the protective authority of male headship--initially that of her father, but then transferring to that of her eventual husband. While one might not agree with everything the author has to say, there is much here of value to consider. Another key insight from the book is the importance of establishing and modeling biblical teachings within family roles as early as possible so as to develop an interest by young men and women to walk in the path of biblical courtship rather than uncritical acceptance of the dating patterns of the culture. While a topic such as this could easily be handled in an overbearing and legalistic way, in my view the author manages to avoid such pitfalls. He flavors the presentation with humor, where appropriate, and manages to steer a course which avoids prudish extremes (e.g., in relation to jewelry, cosmetics, and dress). It may be a measure of how far our culture and much of the church has departed from its biblical mooring that the premise of this book may seem radical to some believers.

As another year comes to an end, we at SpiritAndTruth.org want to wish you a blessed New Year as you continue to walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are amazed and humbled by the unique ministry opportunities afforded by the Internet, a resource which missionaries and teachers of the past could hardly have imagined. When we began this ministry over 14 years ago, we never dreamed it would make possible the distribution of over 6,000 Christian teaching CDs and DVDs to more than 60 countries across the globe! Besides our website, the primary communication tool has been our newsletter which is now 11 years old and reaches over 600 individuals. Others follow our website using the RSS news feed as well as podcasts available over the internet and from within the Apple iTunes Store. This is now our third year publicizing newsletters on Facebook. Since we began measuring the popularity of our teaching resources, we've seen over one million accesses of our audios and articles. Each day, on average, over 500 visitors view our website, one third of which are from outside the USA. We pray that more and more people will find their way to our free materials and grow in their knowledge of God. The ministry would not be possible without the contributions of our teachers as well as those of you who have encouraged us in the work or shared the website with family and friends who value solid Biblical teaching in an age of growing departure from divine truth.

This excellent biography of Jonathan Edwards was published in 2003, was selected as a finalist in the National Book Critics Circle Award, and won the Bancroft Prize. Marsden considers the life of Edwards in greater depth than Iain Murrey's similar work and is perhaps more even-handed in paying more attention to the internal struggles of Edward. Marsden writes from a Christian perspective, "My interest in Edwards arises from my admiration for aspects of his theology. As one committed to a Christian faith in a tradition that is a branch of the same Augustinian and Reformed tree, I find some of Edwards' emphases awe-inspiring. Other aspects seem to me to be brilliant analysis based on false premises. Much else falls in between. Some of his views seem dated. Others are valuable just because they come from another era and challenge assumptions that are today too easily taken for granted. Overall, since I have learned from many of his insights, my attitude toward Edwards' theology is more sympathetic than not" [p. 6]. Marsden's historical expertise allows him to successfully set forth Edwards within the context of his place and time, "One of my hopes is that this book may help bridge the gap between the Edwards of the students of American culture and the Edwards of the theologians. Historians of American culture, thought, and literature are primarily concerned to understand Edwards in relation to his time or perhaps to understand his influence in relation to subsequent times. Theologians are concerned to appropriate aspects of Edwards' thought for their own times. As a biographer attempting to understand Edwards first as an eighteenth-century figure, I have been working most directly as a cultural historian. Yet I have been doing this always with an eye on the theological question, taking his thought seriously as part of the larger Christian tradition" [p. 502].Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?0-300-10596-7Wed, 11 Dec 2013 08:00:00 GMTThankful for What?

Learning from Rabbis regarding how to interpret the Old Testament is a mixed bag. On the one hand, there can be some valuable aspects to familiarize ourselves with the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. On the other hand, when the topic veers near any passage which is obviously Messianic, then there is considerable motivation to deny a Messianic interpretation and especially any connection with the historical Jesus.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/219.htmFri, 18 Oct 2013 07:00:00 GMTJesus Overcomes Death (Acts 2:24-36)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/39-10.htm

A troubling situation many pastors find themselves in today is that of occupying a place of apparent leadership, but lacking true authority. The office of pastor, which scripture establishes as the source of leadership and authority within a local fellowship, can be hindered and even subverted by church practices which have more in common with cultural expectations than the teaching of the New Testament.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#157Thu, 26 Sep 2013 07:00:00 GMTLeadership Limited by Finances or Gifting?http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#158
Too often, opportunities for pastoral service and growth are limited by the perception that leadership roles within the church must be fully financed positions: either because it is unfair to expect leadership involvement without such remuneration or because serving as a pastor is deemed to be so consuming as to make simultaneously “working with ones hands” impractical.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#158Thu, 26 Sep 2013 07:00:00 GMTRecommended Acapella "Solo in Six Parts" of "I Need Thee, O I Need Thee" by Sam Robsonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3wSbLa2uGg

It appears that if we are going to preserve a concept of progressive revelation which does justice to the normal meaning of both words, we will have to accept a definition which incorporates the idea of traceability from A to Z and back again. This will require of us that we do not employ the term if we believe the revelation has been “subject to change” (Horton) in the OT, or once we have passed from the OT into the New. If we think any “transformation” (Beale) has taken place, we are better off adopting a different term so as to avoid confusing people.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#156Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:00:00 GMTFrom Frustration to Faith (John 11:17-28)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/38-52.htm

Andrews has produced a book which deserves a wide readership--especially among thoughtful Christians. For one, the book is a veritable tour de force exposure of the main problems inherent in the recent popular attempts by atheists to explain the world around us without the need of God. If that weren't enough to merit its consideration, the book exhibits a rare combination of searching logic, witty observation, familiarity with the arguments, thoroughness, penetrating clarity, and charity for alternate views which make for a profitable and enjoyable read.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/reviews/tony_garland/review_of_who_made_god.htmlTue, 10 Sep 2013 07:00:00 GMTBook Recommendation: Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought (by John Frame)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-0-87552-245-6
Those seeking a better understanding of "presuppositional apologetics" as championed by Cornelius Van Til will find this book helpful. The author, being one of his capable students, provides an analysis of Van Til's system of thought along with constructive criticism of his own. The author is firmly in the presuppositional camp, yet steers a middle ground between those who are slavishly Van Tillian in their approach and those who are overly critical of Van Til. Frame's treatment is very helpful while charitable in evaluating Van Til and others who have championed and opposed his thought. The basic thrust of presuppositional apologetics is that one must start with the Biblical basis of God and man made in His image in order to have any hope of engaging in rational discussion concerning the existence of God, the characteristics of the universe, and man's place in it. In other words, the Bible-rejecting critic lacks an epistemological basis to support his "reasoned" rejection of God unless reality is as defined by the biblical revelation of God. As Van Til put it, "the unbeliever is like a child slapping her father while being supported by her father's lap."Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-0-87552-245-6Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMTQ218 : Dispensationalism and the Gap Theoryhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/218.htm

Some believe Christ inaugurated the kingdom in spiritual form during His First Advent. One way of showing the implausibility of such a proposition is by exploring the true meaning of the so-called "Lord's Prayer" found in Matthew 6:9-13.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#154Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:00:00 GMTEvolution vs. Godhttp://www.evolutionvsgod.com/
A new film features Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries interviewing academics and students concerning their beliefs about evolution. Ray is in his element exercising his considerable gift of helping people to see the logical fallacies concerning what they hold to be true. Ray focuses specifically on whether evolution is "scientific" (whether macro-evolution can be verified according to the scientific method) or whether it is in fact a faith-based belief. Along the way, some of the interviewees (both professors and students) make surprising--even alarming--responses to questions which are designed to show where their evolution-based world-view naturally leads concerning the relationship between man and animals. If you appreciated Ray's previous film interviewing people about abortion and the holocaust (180) then this is a must-see.Tony Garlandhttp://www.evolutionvsgod.com/Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:00:00 GMTThe Beginning of the Great Commission (Acts 2:5-21)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/39-08.htm

Gentry, Stephen J. Wellumhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/reviews/paul_henebury/review_of_kingdom_through_covenant.pdf
"Kingdom through Covenant" does educate the reader and good points are made. But, in reality, differences with paedo-baptist covenant theology notwithstanding, this is biblical theology in contemporary supercessionist tones. There is not a covenant oath God made which cannot be wrestled to the ground by typology. Despite their assurances otherwise (p. 435), both writers assume that covenant fulfillment happened largely at the first advent. This allows them to reshape covenant promises to fit first coming/ecclesial revelation and keeps the doors open for any of the eschatological options of CT while banging shut the door to dispensational premillennialism.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/reviews/paul_henebury/review_of_kingdom_through_covenant.pdfSun, 14 Jul 2013 07:00:00 GMTChristian Biographies - John Calvinhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/40.htm

If Matthew 6:9-13 is in actuality a model prayer for the disciples consisting of three requests for the kingdom to come and three additional requests for their temporal needs to be met prior to the kingdom's establishment, then it becomes obvious that the Lord did not establish the kingdom at His First Advent. Otherwise, the "Disciples' Prayer" becomes nonsensical. After all, why pray for the coming of the kingdom and make additional requests until its establishment if the kingdom were already a present reality?Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#151Sat, 29 Jun 2013 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming World Government, Part 2http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/18-58.htm

Before the events of the Tribulation period unfold upon the earth (Rev. 6-19), the Apocalypse depicts the twenty-four elders, representing the church, as already being in heaven before the earthly tribulation judgments even begin (Rev. 4-5). A logical and natural explanation for this location is that the church has already been raptured to heaven before the Tribulation period begins.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#150Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:00:00 GMTThe Birth of the Church (Acts 2:1-4)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/39-06.htm

It has been a long time coming, but we praise God that we can now announce that Veritas School of Theology is now a part of TELOS THEOLOGICAL MINISTRIES. We have rebranded as Telos Ministries because we were finding that people were confusing us with the other ministries who had begun to call themselves "Veritas" since we launched in 2007. Besides the fact that Veritas is a well-used name -- from everything to Christian schools to language software to instrument sales! -- we had always liked "Telos" and indeed had given that name to this Newsletter well before the inspiration to rebrand. The process has been painstakingly slow, but we are pleased to now have a unique name and a clear purpose in the long-awaited expansion. This is the website of our main or "umbrella" ministry. Here you'll find lots of audio lectures, sermons, articles and links on many important subjects.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.telosministries.com/Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:00:00 GMTTelos Biblical Institutehttp://www.telosonline.org/
The seminary -- Veritas School of Theology -- has not gone away! Rather, the site has been improved and brought up to date. In addition to rigorously challenging Bachelor's and Master's programs, there are new Certificate programs for saints who don't want to pursue a full degree, but who wish to do some concentrated study in one area. Telos Biblical Institute even has Diploma programs for the more adventurous. We humbly believe this is the best school for its price on the internet.

My concern in this article is to address this phenomenon of prophetic makeover. How can God express Himself in the most forceful language of commitment to Israel and not mean what He is saying (Jer. 31-33)? How can God make a solemn oath to accomplish stipulations which He and no one else has placed upon Himself and proceed to "expand" these stipulations beyond all recognition (Gen. 15)?

The history of the interpretation of the Bible is a long and involved one. For many centuries people have approached the Scriptures supposing that it should be interpreted literally whenever possible, or that one ought to look deeper than the surface meaning to find its true spiritual center. Still others have believed that the Old and (to a lesser extent) the New Testament is opened up by means of three or four hermeneutical categories. In this paper we shall try to review the main schools of interpretation, especially throughout the history of the Church.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#148Sun, 26 May 2013 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming Kingdom, Part 16http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#147
Considering that a careful Genesis to Revelation survey very clearly indicates that the kingdom is a future and postponed reality, why do so many evangelicals believe that the Messianic kingdom has already materialized or is within the power of the modern church to set up? Is there a biblical basis for such a "kingdom-now" belief?Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#147Sun, 26 May 2013 07:00:00 GMTClaims, Confusion, and Conversions (John 8:21-30)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/38-39.htm

Proponents of the New Perspective on Paul allow their relative comprehension of facets of Second Temple Judaism (roughly 500 B.C. to 70 A.D.) to cloud their reading of the New Testament, and especially of the Apostle Paul. Read as sufficient in itself, the New Testament sets out a clear picture of Jewish antagonism to the Gospel; not because of narrow covenantal boundary-markers, but because “seeking to establish their own righteousness, [they] have not submitted to the righteousness of God” - Romans 10:3.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#144Sat, 04 May 2013 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming Kingdom, Part 15http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#145

Revelation 20:1-10 is the only passage that specifies the kingdom's duration of one-thousand years. Here, John makes six references to the kingdom's one-thousand year length. Many commentators attach little significance to the expression “thousand years” on the grounds that this number should be interpreted non-literally. Their thinking is that since Revelation is a symbolic book, the number "one thousand" should also be rendered non-literally.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#141Sun, 03 Mar 2013 08:00:00 GMTHow to Get Rid of a Crowd, Part 2 (John 6:41-59)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/38-30.htm

It was with mixed emotions that I wrote to friends earlier this week to announce that, around 2 AM on February 12th, Dr. Mal Couch lost his battle with cancer and passed into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The reason my emotions are mixed is because on the one hand I am happy since I now know that Mal Couch is in a better place. Paul indicated that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8) and to depart and be with Christ is far better (Philip. 1:21-23). On the other hand my heart is heavy tonight with sadness knowing that I have temporarily lost the companionship of a mentor and even more important than that a very good, close, personal friend. The life of Dr. Mal Couch was nothing short of extraordinary. I hope to blog about it in more detail at a later time. God used him in so many strategic ways to touch many people, including myself. I've had the privilege of knowing him personally over the course of the last decade. Volumes could be written on the things that I have learned from this man philosophically, theologically, and professionally. He invited me to contribute to a plethora of journal issues, books, conferences, online resources, and CD interviews. Despite my busy schedule, only one time I remember did I ever turn him down. In many ways, he was a father-like figure to me. Outside of my immediate and extended family, there was probably no one who was a greater supporter, influencer, encourager, and cheerleader for my life and ministry than Dr. Mal Couch. I owe the current trajectory in my life largely to his positive influence. His passing certainly makes heaven richer and earth poorer. Besides my mixed emotions of happiness and sadness, one other feeling strikes me very strongly this evening. That sensation is urgency or motivation! His passing reminds me of how brief life really is (Ps. 103:15-16; Jas. 4:14). It's imperative to all of us likeminded ministers and believers to invest what limited time we have left in this fleeting life into eternal things. Mal Couch seemed to understand that his time on earth was limited, and so he wanted to make every second count for Christ. We should follow his example. His passing is a reminder that the spiritual baton has now been formally passed to those of us that he influenced. Let us take that baton, consisting of the rich things that we learned from him, and pass it on to the next generation while there is still time and freedom to do so. His passing has personally awakened within me a desire to reconsecrate my life to God so that He can use me as His channel of blessing to others. I want to bless others the same way Mal blessed me. The death of the giants of Mal's generation remind us that we can no longer count on these older Christians to disseminate what their generation stood for (Dispensationalism, pre-tribulationism, Zionism, literal interpretation, conservatism, and constitutionalism). It's our turn now to take the lead in these issues. Let run our race with boldness and endurance knowing that we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses (Heb. 12:1). May God strengthen us for the task ahead. Thank you again Dr. Mal Couch for what you have meant to so many and for the encouragement and training you have given us to follow your wonderful example. During this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers go out to Mal's family, especially his wonderful wife Lacey.

As I heard the news about Dr. Mal Couch's “graduation” from this life, I thought back to the many, many hours which I sat under his teaching while attending Tyndale Theological Seminary which he founded and where he served as its first president. I am thankful for Dr. Couch and the many others who labored with him at Tyndale to make a quality seminary-level education affordable and available to myself, my wife, and many others. At the completion of my work at Tyndale, I was ordained by Dr. Couch and Dr. John Cook, then registrar at Tyndale. Surprise visit to Dr. Walvoord's Livingroom Dr. Couch behind the camera, Dr. Cook standing left, Dr. Walvoord seated, Steve Lewis and myself standing behind Dr. Walvoord. One of my cherished memories of the times I traveled down to the campus in Texas for various courses was one particular day when Drs Couch and Cook arranged a “mystery” field trip for our group of students. We got into a van and were driven--who knows where--in the Dallas area. After quite some time, we pulled into the driveway of a nondescript house in a residential neighborhood. Dr. Couch got us out of the van and led us through the back door of the house. We all shuffled into the living room where we awkwardly waited. A few minutes later, who should walk in from the kitchen but Dr. John Walvoord! We were shocked and thrilled! Dr. Walvoord was about 90 years old at that time. (For those who may not know, Dr. Walvoord was president of Dallas Theological Seminary for many years and wrote numerous books and articles from a dispensational perspective.) As I recall, we spent about an hour conversing with Dr. Walvoord and peppering him with questions. He was still sharp as a tack! Dr. Couch was quite close to Dr. Walvoord and co-authored his biography titled, Blessed Hope. Dr. Couch understood the importance of the line of great teachers who paved the way before us. He was also tireless in his labors for Our Lord and his love of Israel. He will be greatly missed by those who value straightforward teaching from the Scriptures.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/news/20130317.htm#BSun, 17 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMTJesus Our Protector (John 6:16-21)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/38-28.htm

Intimately entwined within the question as to the extent of Christ’s death on the Cross is the discussion concerning what this event actually achieved. In other words, what was its purpose? The author proves, by means of logic and a proper exegesis of the relevant passages, that Jesus died for every individual, yet that does not inevitably lead to the conclusion that all will be saved.

This handsomely illustrated guide demonstrates the well-worn adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words." Most of our readers will need no introduction to the author: Dr. Randall Price, one of the foremost authorities today on the Temple and Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The illustrations and plans throughout the guide are breath-taking and give the reader a sense of how imposing the various structures must have been in their day as they stood on what is probably one of the most disputed pieces of real-estate in the history of the world. This is no simplistic picture-book as the artwork and plans are of high quality and considerable detail. Various overlays provide helpful visibility into the different layers (external, internal) which make up the temple-related structures as described. The text is also very informative. As many will know, Dr. Price is a reliable scholar who remains above the sensationalism which often attends this topic.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-159636-468-4Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMTBook Recommendation: The Life of Arthur Pink (by Iain Murray)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?0-85151-883-4
The first portion of Arthur Pink's ministry was public and full of activity--preaching upwards of 300 times a year. Over time, due to various factors, he wound up without any public ministry, devoting his time exclusively to a writing ministry which during his life had a fairly limited circulation. The last years of he and his wife's life were spent faithfully publishing Pink's Studies in the Scriptures newsletter from their home in Stornoway, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. His ministry blossomed after he had passed away when his writings eventually received a wide circulation. It is said that in 1982 Zondervan Publishing House was steadily selling between 1,500 and 2,000 copies of his Exposition of the Gospel of John every year. Baker Book House at that date had published twenty-two titles by pink, with combined sales of almost 350,000 copies. There was the same success with his Life of Elijah and profiting from the Word, published by the Banner of Truth. Of all his titles, however, it is The Sovereignty of God that has done more than any other in redirecting the thinking of a younger generation. The Banner of Truth republished it in 1961, and to date it has sold more than 177,000 copies, plus others in foreign translations. (pp. 314-315) Murray chronicles the life of this fascinating servant of God which provides encouraging insights while illuminating dangers for those whose ministry is characterized by continued labor in relative obscurity and isolation. Unfortunately Murray does not spend much time chronicling Pink's abandonment of his early dispensational views and the treatment suffers slightly from Murray's obvious dislike for and misrepresentation of dispensationalism (e.g., recommending that Pink's early works--written when a dispensationalist--are best avoided and promoting in a footnote the oft-heard error that dispensationalism teaches two ways of salvation).

This is not a typical biography. Iain Murray . . . traces the main lines of Spurgeon's spiritual thought in connection with the three great controversies in his ministry--the first was his stand against the diluted gospel fashionable in the London to which the young preacher came in the 1850's; the second, the famous 'Baptismal Regeneration' debate of 1864; lastly, the lacerating down-Grade controversy of 1887-1891 when Spurgeon sought to awaken Christians to the danger of the Church 'being buried beneath the boiling mud-showers of modern heresy.' The book brings a greater appreciation of the importance of doctrine in Spurgeon's approach to the pulpit. He was not just a princely preacher with masterful oratory skills and insight into how to communicate the truths of Scripture, but was also a strong Calvinist and believer in the importance of doctrine in the edification of the saints. After Spurgeon's passing, Murray documents how the Metropolitan Tabernacle itself succumbed to the very evangelization techniques, fueled by Arminian tendencies, which Spurgeon himself opposed. The book introduces the reader to aspects of Spurgeon which are not as often encountered in his more popular works. (According to Murray, some of Spurgeon's references to Arminianism have been removed from the text of select sermons in the Kelvedon edition without warning of abridgement [p. 55, note 65].)Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-1-84871-011-5Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:00:00 GMTThe Rapture - Part 9http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#133

I was recently made aware of this resource which could prove helpful in fulfilling the Great Commission as we increasingly have opportunities to interact with those of the Muslim faith right here in America. I myself have not viewed the material, but thought to make it more widely known for those who may find it helpful. Muslims are one of the fastest growing demographics in North America today. As Christians we have two choices that we can make in dealing with this simple fact. We can give in to fear of the unknown, and run the risk of fear becoming hate or we can reach out with the Gospel of Christ, in love, as we are taught in the New Testament. "Truth Unlocked: Keys to Reaching Your Muslim Neighbor" is a project that God inspired us to create to help Christians to reach out to, form relationships with and simply love, Muslims here in North America. No more do we have to travel across the World, leaving family and friends behind, to fulfill the Great Commission. All we have to do is take a walk down our own street, visit our local supermarket, go to work and we are in our mission field. . . . Our approach to this series was to seek out experts on the subject of Islam (specifically in a North American context) and ask them the questions that we wanted to hear answered. As a result, this series is a journey of exploration that does not assume any prior knowledge of Islam. The series is laid out in a six session format. Each session opens with an approximately thirty minute video, which can be followed by as much discussion as is generated by the material that has been presented.

My title is calculated to raise a quizzical brow or two. I should explain straight away what I mean by placing "Christmas" in inverted commas. I know it is unnecessary to say that the term is not of biblical origin. Then again, one could say the same about the whole idea of Christmas. Scripture knows nothing of it. However, we do refer to the Bible when we explain what Christmas is supposed to be about. We tell about the annunciation to Mary. We may even speak a word of explanation about the Virgin Birth. Then we relate the story of the shepherds on the hills outside of Bethlehem. If we are being anachronistic we may commit the fallacy of bringing the Magi to the occasion too. And after we're done relating these phenomena, the message comes out: "Jesus was born to save us from our sins." Let me say at once that I do not disagree with that statement. Nor do I deny it is an earth-shaking announcement. My issue is that it does not state the whole truth. And it falters because is a statement divorced from its context. Let's look at that context: Matthew's Account: The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matt 1:1) Immediately before the birth story the Evangelist provides a genealogy expressly linking Christ to Abraham and David. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. When His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her, desired to put her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David , do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 "And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins. " 22 Now all this took place that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, 23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us." (Matt. 1:18-23) In this context the angel's deliberate referencing of Joseph's Davidic roots would have evoked recollections and hopes of fulfillment of the Davidic covenant. Reference to the salvation from sins and possibly the Holy Spirit would have encouraged hopes of the New covenant. Putting yourself into Joseph's shoes, imagine the level of expectation in his mind. Finally the God of Abraham and David would reveal the Messiah: the king who would restore Israel and bring peace. It would have taken an angelic announcement for Joseph to believe that the once proud line of David, represented by him as a lowly carpenter, would again be exalted. The thematic connection with the Old Testament is natural. In fact, one could easily see that had Matthew 1-10 been an OT Book there would scarcely be a blip on the screen. What was promised had come and the kingdom was being proclaimed. The dials seemed set for the Golden Age. What about Luke? And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. 31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David ; 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end ." (Lk. 1:30-33) I cannot imagine that these words did not recall the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7 to Mary's mind: For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. Here again "Christmas" is about the throne of David and the kingdom. It is about the Messianic reign over Israel in perpetuity. It is about peace and rest for God's people. Then the scene shifts to Bethlehem and the shepherds: 8 And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields, and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 And the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; 11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 "And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger." 13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased." (Lk. 2:10-14) Enter the shepherds, who were not marking their calendars awaiting anything special. The hills were quiet, the night drew on, and out of the blue there is the angel of the Lord! No wonder they were scared. The word "Christ" would not connote exactly the same notions in the shepherds as it does for Christians. To them this was an announcement of the coming King Messiah; the Shepherd of God's choosing who would establish Israel in glory (cf. Ezek. 34:23f.). The "song" of the heavenly choir (Lk.2:14) is not an ill-timed attempt at angelic wishful-thinking. In the context of the early chapters of the Gospel Story it represents a real expectation. That expectation, we now know, did not dawn. Christ was rejected. He still is! But He will return and He will be accepted by repentant hearts. The Evangelists look beyond our time. They look to a better world. "Peace on earth" is true! But it is ahead of us. The One who was despised and rejected and who died and rose will usher it in when He descends to claim what the "Infancy Narratives" proclaim clearly is rightfully His. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end . So when we wish each other a "Merry Christmas," let us not only look back to a manger in a stable, or to an empty cross. Let us join with the angels in joyous anticipation of the coming Kingdom of Peace! Because that is the message of "Christmas.

The following contribution was written by Pastor Eric Peterman of Valley Bible Fellowship. There is certain to be a lot of "why did this happen?" There is certain to be much analysis and soul searching, and many facts and accurate assessments made, and so many wounded hearts to bind up, and some families and individuals who will never be OK again. I'm just sick at heart. I see that the news channels are already asking, "How do we stop the cycle of violence?" I've observed the repeated pattern of these deliberately public, virally propagated, violent explosions of murder and then self-suicide or suicide by cop, with collateral death and destruction and woundings of apparent innocent bystanders. I've listened in the aftermath of these shootings and the predominant word that comes out is, "senseless!" That description is somewhat helpful, but it's not even close to the whole story. I think there is an underlying reason that is a more accurate and helpful one and something that we can actually do something about. Quite simply, America has lost it's understanding that the human heart is depraved, it is has abandoned the rational fear of Hell and of Hell's Creator, the Judge who will hold them to individual account and personally send and maintain them there. America has lost the details of proportionate eternal punishment corresponding to evil done on this earth. And America has lost it's knowledge of and love for Heaven and it no longer yearns and pines for that beautiful high home country or for its Emperor. Because of that it has all but lost the ancient knowledge of the narrow pathway to that country. Men mistakenly think that they can take out their murderous anger and frustration on a parent, co-worker or boss that has disrespected, controlled, hurt or deprived them of some supposed right, and they can purge their anger and frustration on surrounding innocent bystanders, and then they can take their own lives at the end (or force that cowardly duty on a poor policeman or SWAT member) and they think that in a wild orgy of blood and adrenaline that their reputation for having gotten even will go out in the internet and news, their reputation written, and then they themselves will have no further suffering or frustration because they'll be dead, dead, dead. How utterly ignorant of what comes after, and eternally and wickedly wrong! "It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!" (Hebrews 10:31) These self-absorbed evil-doers will face not just the fact of terror on judgment day at their own abuse of the stewardship of the lives granted to them, but the moment-by-moment agony of the attentions and perfect maintenance of their condition in misery by the One who created and who owns that place of perfect justice. Unmitigated Goodness meting out wrath with Infinite Might and Exacting Justice at those undead rebels who are unalterably evil. That is how the Lord Jesus describes the judgment and condition of those who spite their Maker: "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who after He has killed has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Luke 12:5) I fault many of the churches and Christians and pulpits in America for this loss. We need a lot less "seeker-sensitive" therapeutic draw and more of Jonathan Edwards', "Sinners in the hands of an angry God." We need less purpose drivel, and more revelation of God through exposition of Biblical doctrine. We need to be reminded that in Christ it is gloriously true that it is, "your best life later, not now." We need less weepy preaching to citizens of Hell on social justice and more on divine justification of us wicked sinners through faith in Christ. We need to see division in the churches as the delighted applause, the smile of Heaven, when the division arises because of the revealed truth. We need to exposit Heaven and Hell, and our own depravity, but for the grace of God. As Robert Lightner once urged a group of us, "For God's sake, men, when you preach give them something to believe in!" When the church is again humble Salt and Light in a crooked and perverse generation, then maybe it will have something worth listening to, or at least something worth persecuting. And then men will once again think not just twice, but enduringly about the fearful consequences of pulling that trigger.

Scripture refers to the rapture as a mystery (1Cor. 15:51). When people read the word "mystery" in the New Testament they have a tendency of importing an English understanding of the word back into the text. Such an anachronistic reading is unfortunate since the word "mystery" means something quite different in English than it does in Greek, which was the original language of the New Testament.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#130Sun, 16 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMTWhat is Wrong with Man?http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#131
Because of the recent shooting in Connecticut, we are engulfed in a national conversation concerning what caused the shooter to do what he did.

Sadly, many use a tragic event of this nature to advocate a political agenda that calls for greater control of government over our lives.

Close on the heels of Iain Murray's biography of Jonathan Edwards I undertook Arnold Dallimore's two-volume biography of Edwards' contemporary in the Great Awakening: the evangelist George Whitefield. This must be the definitive biography on Whitefield and does a real service by clarifying Whitefield's key role in the historical events of the Great Awakening and the establishment of Methodism. Especially noteworthy is how the author brings Whitefield out from behind the shadow of John Wesley giving him his rightful place in the spiritual events which were sweeping the American Colonies, England, Wales, and Scotland in the mid seventeen hundreds. I can't recommend this work highly enough. There is little doubt that George Whitefield is one of the most unique, tireless, and influential evangelists ever to follow upon the Apostle Paul. The enormity of his gifts, his dedication to the service of God, the huge crowds which gathered to hear him at all hours of the day, and the constancy of his ministry leave the reader frequently dropping his jaw. This in a day without the benefit of broadcasting or any means of amplification! (Benjamin Franklin, a friend of Whitefield's, estimated he could be heard by upwards of as many as 30,000 persons while preaching out-of-doors.) The biography is not only valuable for its depiction of the man, but also its depiction of the times in which he ministered and especially the work which God was doing in the hearts of thousands and thousands who crammed together in-and-out of doors to hear the great evangelist on both sides of the Atlantic. It was not uncommon for Whitefield to preach to multiple thousands who gathered to hear him as early as 6 AM--and to preach as many as 1,000 times in the course of a year. It is little wonder that his frame was not equal to this ongoing labor such that he was sickly for much of his ministry, reaching its zenith and terminus at age 55. There is no question that Whitefield, the Wesleys, and others of their era were used by God to change the spiritual climate of entire regions such as England, Scotland, Wales, and the American Colonies.Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-0851510262Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:00:00 GMTWebsite Feature: Questions and Answershttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/questions/index.htm

Yet more evidence that dinosaur bones are not as old as they keep telling us. Predictably, rather than leading to a re-evaluation of the prevailing long-age paradigm of earth history, this evidence is interpreted as indicating that there must be some unknown mechanism by which tissue is preserved for much longer than anyone thought possible: "The data thus far seem to support the theory that these structures can be preserved over time."Tony Garlandhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121023151333.htmWed, 24 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming Kingdom - Part 10http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#127
The church consists of all people, including both the Jewish remnant as well as Gentiles, who have trusted in the very Messiah Israel rejected. Unlike Israel, which was a national identity, the church is a spiritual organism consisting of all nations and ethnicities (Gal. 3:28; Rom. 10:19; Eph. 2:14). The church age began on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 and will conclude with the future rapture of the church from the earth. Rather than replacing Israel, the church represents an entirely new divine work that interrupts God's past dealings and future dealings with national Israel.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#127Sat, 27 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMTBook Recommendation - Jonathan Edwards: A New Biographyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-0851514949
I recently read this excellent biography of Jonathan Edwards, a key American figure in the "Great Awakening" which took place on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-18th century. This biography, written by Iain Murray, offers insight into numerous important themes: 1) what conditions typically prevail in a generation which follows upon a godly one, but lacks its convictions? 2) how to distinguish between a genuine move of God and the oft-attending manifestations produced by the flesh? 3) what are the true marks of bona fide revival and how was it brought about in this historical case? An inadvertent benefit of the book is the way in which it highlights the dumbing down of Christians and pulpit teaching today in comparison with that of the early American colonies. The faith and preaching of Jonathan Edwards assumes an intelligence and attention span which far exceeds Christian expectations in our age. One wonders whether Edwards would not be dismissed as "irrelevant" if he had preached in our time?Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/id/isbn.htm?978-0851514949Sat, 27 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMTWebsite Feature: One Year Biblehttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/lookup/oneyear.htm

G. K. Beale's book has been called magisterial. It is certainly big. It is without doubt as impressive as it is imposing. And it is possibly the most thorough apology for amillennialism ever put into print. . . . Biblical theology can be done in many ways. A clever man can do all kinds of things with it. Those who seek to comprehend it through types, shadows and often obscure allusions, believing that the NT reinterprets the Old, may win the day. They are good men who love the Lord and will answer to Him. But their approach differs so substantially from that of those of us who believe that God does not transform His stated meanings that there can be no theological rapprochement.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/reviews/paul_henebury/review_of_new_testament_biblical_theology.pdfSun, 21 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMTRevisiting Inerrancy: A Panel Discussion Considers What Is at Stakehttp://www.albertmohler.com/2012/10/15/revisiting-inerrancy-a-panel-discussion-considers-what-is-at-stake/
I'm recommending your consideration of this helpful video presentation concerning the importance of our stand on the inerrancy of Scripture. Dr. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins with other members of the faculty (Gregg Allison, Denny Burk, Russell Moore, and Bruce Ware) to discuss modern attacks on the reliability of Scripture. With current challenges to the inerrancy of Scripture in view, [Dr. Albert Mohler] convened a panel of theologians to revisit the question. In one sense, the challenges to inerrancy are more direct than ever, with figures associated with some evangelical institutions calling for a straightforward repudiation of the doctrine. Other assaults are more subtle, but all of these challenges demand our close attention. If you desire a greater understanding of the critically important difference between claims that the Scriptures are "infallible" (the liberal view) rather than "inerrant" (the conservative view) and the relation of both terms to "inspiration," this discussion should prove helpful. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy is a very helpful resource mentioned during the discussion. I especially enjoyed mention of the tongue-in-cheek "Dalmatian Theory of Inspiration" : Scripture is inspired in spots and you are inspired in order to spot the spots.

Much of what Jesus says in the Gospels is anchored by revelation previously given in the Old Testament. Where Jesus is teaching concepts which find their origin in the Old Testament, He expects His listeners to be familiar with the basis of His teachings. An understanding of the historic setting of Daniel helps us interpret Jesus' puzzling reference to "the Times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:22-24).Tony Garlandhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#125Tue, 02 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMTThe Coming Kingdom - Part 9http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#126

The battle over the inerrancy of Scripture hasn't and isn't going away. We must decide how we will approach the Bible - what our working assumptions will be. If "all Scripture is Godbreathed" then all Scripture has the insignia of God upon it. This would be the bare-bones theological deduction from the relationship between the two. For the human element to be lifted above the Divine element so as to enjoy equal ultimacy over the resultant production of Scripture requires an alteration to Scripture's own self-witness.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#123Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:00:00 GMTUpcoming Prophecy Conferenceshttp://slbc.org/events/seminar2012/

A mistake typically made even by dispensational, premillennial interpreters is to contend that the Matthew 13 parables reveal a present spiritual form of the kingdom known as the "mystery form of the kingdom." While not contending that the Davidic kingdom is present, they instead believe that the kingdom is spiritually present in mystery form only. However, even this is to read too much into the text of Matthew 13 than is actually there.Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#122Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:00:00 GMTA Critical Witnesshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/38-06.htm

Andy is one of several authors contributing to a new book surveying the Old Testament. The Essence of the Old Testament surveys the books from Genesis to Malachi. Based on thirty years of scholarly research and classroom teaching, a team of biblical scholars from Liberty University provides a practical, readable, and insightful introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures in canonical order. This uniquely illustrated, full-color volume features book introductions, background studies, outlines, surveys, theological concepts, practical applications, study questions, and helpful Hebrew word studies for English readers. Editors Ed Hindson and Gary Yates draw from a lifetime of teaching to provide a well tested and proven Old Testament overview written at the collegiate level, yet appropriate for pastors, scholars, and laymen alike. They represent the finest evangelical scholarship along with a passion to open windows of spiritual and practical insight into the biblical text. This exciting new survey of the Scriptures highlights the key elements of the Hebrew literature of the Law, the Prophets, and the Poets of the Old Testament. The history, archaeology, and wisdom of the biblical world are revealed with an eye on the application of their moral principles, theological insights, and practical application to today's world.

The entire Gentile world could become Christian. Yet, if tiny Israel remains in unbelief, the kingdom cannot materialize. Conversely, the entire Gentile world could reject Christ.

These mysteries cover the time period between Israel's formal rejection of the kingdom and the Second Advent (Matt. 13:40-42, 49-50).

Lacking the necessary time to review this book in detail, I want to make mention of it as a helpful resource, written by Craig L. Blomberg, containing much information pertaining to the reliability of the gospel accounts. While I don't endorse the author's belief in a fabled 'Q' document [1] or his ideas concerning the nature of the inspiration of the gospel accounts, there is still much of value here for the discerning Christian reader. The book may also be helpful as an antidote for those who have swallowed the sensational claims of the likes of Bart Ehrman. [1] Consider this gem concerning the lack of evidence for 'Q': "That no-one has ever found Q does not count as strongly against the hypothesis as it would with many hypothetical documents, because by definition much if not all of Q has been preserved--embedded in the finished forms of Matthew and Luke."

We are excited to announce a new book by Vicki Lewis. Come and sit! Have a cup of coffee or tea and join me on a trip through my twenty-year journey as a homeschooling mom. Tucked inside this book are tips and tricks to guide your journey, including real-life confessions (like the fact that we never finished every math problem in the book), and encouragement to help you stay focused on Christ and obedient to His calling for your life and family. Over the years, whenever I succumbed to doubt--wondering if God really cared that I had given up so much to home school my children, if all this effort would make any difference in the end, and if I really was wasting my life, being irresponsible, or ruining my children, as some people said--God was always faithful to remind me of His sovereign call. He gently helped me remember that the success of our home school did not depend on my eloquence, organization, or abilities. Since home schooling was a conviction He had put on my heart, it was up to Him to take care of the results. I merely needed to be obedient on a daily basis, in good times and bad. Originally written as encouragement articles for home schooling newsletters and magazines, these chapters were composed in many different places along my journey. My hope is that they will reach you and encourage you in as many ways, wherever you are in your homeschooling journey.

The "Rules of Affinity" test the "distance" between a given theological proposal and the actual textual references alleged to lend them authority. The two categories in the Grid which reveal little or no affinity between the words of Scripture and the doctrines supposed to be borne out of it are C4's or C5's. These categories are heavy on inference and light on affinity. They are chock full of human reason and empty of clear, definable connection to the verses which are being unfairly summoned to support them.Paul Heneburyhttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#107Sun, 13 May 2012 07:00:00 GMTThe Rapture - Part 4http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#108

Much controversy persists within evangelicalism regarding the use and existence of the gifts of tongues, knowledge, and prophecy among believers. Charismatics maintain that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit remain in operation today. These gifts, in their view, include not only those that are edificatory in nature, such as teaching and preaching, but also revelatory or confirmatory ones, such as tongues, interpretation of tongues, healing, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, prophecy, and miracles. On the other hand, cessationists contend that the sign and revelatory gifts have not functioned in the church since the close of the apostolic age, and thus only the edificatory gifts remain. A key battleground text in this ongoing debate is 1 Corinthians 13:8-10, which teaches that certain gifts will cease when that which is perfect has come. The obvious question is, what does Paul mean?Andy Woodshttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#105Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:00:00 GMTChrist Our Example (Rom. 15:1-13)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/35-45.htm

However, this is not the way the modern day separation between church and state doctrine is applied. Today, this doctrine means that the Christian worldview can have no influence over how the state should function.

The warning found in Hebrews 6:4-6 has provoked disagreement among Bible interpreters and exegetes. Gromacki observes that this passage is "probably the most controversial passage within Hebrews." Most Calvinist and Reformed interpreters insist that the warning passage is too strong to apply to believers, so unbelievers must be in view in these verses. Arminians contend that the passage is speaking of genuine believers who are at risk of losing their salvation. Others argue that these verses are speaking of genuine believers and the severe warning is a mere hypothetical scenario.

Lacking the necessary time to review the book in detail, I want to recommend it to those who follow the ongoing historical debate among Christians as to whether the Jews and the nation of Israel have continued significance in the plan of God. This 394-page book by Barry Horner addresses numerous issues with insight and makes the case that what we believe as Christians about Israel today is of great importance. The book identifies the unpleasant role which Christian theology and Biblical interpretation have often played as contributing factors in the historical persecution of the Jews and in fueling modern Christian opposition to Israel's claim to the land. The text also includes an in-depth consideration of biblical teaching on the subject. As a plus, the book contains many interesting citations by previous writers who have undertaken this topic (e.g., Bonar, Spurgeon, Ryle).Tony Garlandhttp://bestbookdeal.com/book/compare/9780805446272Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:00:00 GMTPaul's Concluding Words (1 Corinthians 16:1-24)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/9-26.htm

Christians must not abandon their Bibles at the crucial moment when their Faith is assailed. Instead, they are to assert confidently and intelligently the Biblical perspective about God, about man, and about the fallen world in which we live.

Conventional schools do not consider anything related to faith to be part of their job. The training of character is occasionally taught, but it is never built on the foundation of faith. It is great to teach our children to be truthful or patient or not to bully others. But without faith undergirding those qualities, the character is being built upon a foundation of sand.Vicki Lewishttp://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/index.htm#76Mon, 20 Jun 2011 07:00:00 GMTThe Rejection of the King of the Jews (Matthew 24:1-2)http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/37-01.htm
